Where is the Maelstrom Hunting Log?
Simply open up your usual FFXIV Hunting Logs window and you can find the crest underneath the class/job symbols.
I didn’t want to just copy and paste everything from my Twin Adder Hunting Log, so I hope that description is enough for yous.
Individually Searchable?
I’m now in the process of creating searchable entries for the landscape targets here. There should be minimum disruption so these guides will remain whole and accurate during the transition. Thanks!
Maelstrom Hunting Log Rank 1
As you progress through these difficulty ranks, you’ll see that, basically, you’re fighting against the Beast Tribes. This coincides with much of the MSQ, and certainly on the harder trials between A Realm Reborn and Heavensward.
Amalj'aa Hunter

As you would expect from the title, the Amalj'aa Hunter is an Archer class enemy.
Amalj'aa Hunter Location
They're found in a little "loop" off the beaten track in Eastern Thanalan. The early(ish) MSQ brings you here, but I think that's just before you join a Grand Company. If you remember where you investigated the Amalj'aa with Thancred, then return here once you can.

![Storm Seals Storm Seals](https://fibrojedi.me.uk/droids/fj-ffxiv-icons/icons/seal-storm.png)
Sylvan Groan Sylphs are Thaumaturge class, "touched ones" that can, pretty much, only be found in one place.
Assuming you have not immediately followed another player, there will be enough of these to clear the log entry, even if the below FATE is not on.
Where are Sylvan Groans?
The Maelstrom Hunting Log says "The Bramble Patch", but they're on the way from there to Larkscall. If you reach the other side of the bridge, you've gone too far.

![Storm Seals Storm Seals](https://fibrojedi.me.uk/droids/fj-ffxiv-icons/icons/seal-storm.png)
In case you spot their tiny weapons before they zap you, the Sylvan Sough is a Conjurer class touched Sylph.
Where is the Sylvan Sough?
In case you skipped here straight away on the log, or searched directly for them, they are in the same area as Sylvan Groans; between the Bramble Patch and Larkscall.
If you are clearing the Maelstrom Hunting Log, make sure to clear both entries at the same time.
If you're roughly on-level, they probably won't give you a choice!

The Kobold Pickman variety of Kobolds is one of a few scavenging around the skeleton at Thalaos in Upper La Noscea. I found four of them, but you only need three.
Despite their name, they are not holding picks, but axes. But don't take time to question why they're mining or digging with an axe! Just appease your Grand Company and take some out for the safety of Eorzea.

Just South-East of Little Ala Mhigo, you'll find a group of Amalj'aa of various types loitering around. The Amalj'aa Bruiser is a Pugilist, but unless you're well over-levelled, then others will join in the fighting.
No one's ever complained about taking out too many of them though, have they? Well, except maybe the Amalj'aa themselves! The Twin Adder and Maelstrom certainly won't!

Head East from Fallgourd Float, then turn South. You'll find your Ixali Straightbeak targets with the Ixali Deftalons from the Twin Adder Hunting Log.
If you're over-levelled, look for the Lancers. If you're not, the likelihood is that the Ixals will aim for you. Which, for once, is a good thing!

Where Are They?
Head through a tunnel East of Coerthas' Observatorium and you'll find a small gaggle of Ixals. That is the collective noun, right?! Your target is in that gaggle.

There’s a real emphasis on the Kobolds in Rank 2. But as a progressing fighter of the Maelstrom, knowing the Kobolds are a local problem, you have to do your duty! Well, once you’ve cleared an Amalj’aa. If you do them in order!

Depending on when you're clearing your Maelstrom Hunting Log, the Amalj'aa Tribal Questline brings you here. You can ride or fly there, or keep an eye out for the FATEs.

You only require one Kobold Priest, but being the generous soul that I am, I found two for you. As with the Kobold Bedesman, they're in the Iron Lake area of Outer La Noscea.
The Priests seem to have darker armour than the other Kobolds too. But they don't have any fancy headwear that makes them stand out.
Find the Priest
The two spots I found were:- X:22.3, Y:13.6
- X:23.4, Y:12.1
Take out your target just in case the tiny rat man drags you before Titan. If you're a Roegadyn, it would be hilarious to see him try!

Start at Aleport, head towards the Killer Mantis location, then pass through the gates.

I've marked the first four I found. But the MSQ brings you through here, and FATEs are often on. Oh, and Novv's Nursery

These pugilists are in the Zanr'ak part of Southern Thanalan. While you may find one around X:19.7, Y:20.2, there are more and closer together further South around X:21, Y:24 and X:20.5, Y:25.

Periodically people search for Ixali Bloodwing. However, as much as I look, I'm fairly sure there isn't one. Check whether, instead of Ixali Bloodwing, you mean Boldwing or Ixali Boundwing.
Where are the Ixali Boldwings?
Although some are in the Logging grounds, you can also encounter some in the far North of Proudcreek.
As you can see from my maplet, there are plenty to be had. They also appear in the very low-level FATE No Birds Allowed

The Zahar'ak Archer is another obviously-named Amalj'aa (I prefer it this way!). At least in Zahar'ak, the names don't change like they do in Zanr'ak. So long as you're beyond the gate, any lizardman with a bow is the right one.
Although part of a Tribal Quest, there is no fate including these mobs. Thankfully, there are more Archers here than you need. And, as Zahar'ak is a key location during A Realm Reborn, the respawn timers are short too.

TL;DR That’s a Wrap for the FFXIV Maelstrom Hunting Log!
That’s been quite a ride, really! The Grand Company logs generally don’t muck about – on-level these are dangerous enemies you have to genuinely fight against. Of course, since flight was allowed in Eorzea, clearing entries from the Maelstrom Hunting Log has been much quicker and you can over-level to make it easy. But if you want to achieve promotions within the ranks you’ll need to clear much of these logs.
I hope you found this guide helpful. Next time it will be the Flames. But for now, have fun in Final Fantasy XIV, til Sea Swallows All!
